Get a 7° and put a couple of spacers under it.jrsbike said:In setting up my new ride I determeined that the ideal stem length would be a 110mm at 10 degrees. Off I go to find a nice lightweight one but I can't. It seems that most manufacturers have gone to 5 , 6, or 7 degree designs. Thomson and Race face make 15's (why?) and Ritchey makes a 17 (for whom?) but I can't seem to find anything in between. I've looked for a left over '03 Easton EA 50 weld/forge in my length but none seem available even from the big online vendors or eBay. There seems to be plenty of welded EA 70's with the hinge but I don't like the design or weight and the Easton mags have a reputation for corrision. Any ideas? thanks
No 10 Degree stems!

Sun Ringle @172gms
At least that's what mine is. Its couple years old. Is that light enough for you?

Sette Edge Stem from Pricepoint. 10 degree rise available in 110mm, 126 grams, $24.99..
I have a Sette stem on one of my bikes. It's a 90mm, 10 degree rise and weighs 135g.

FYI: I just got an email from Thomson informing me that they are going to come out with a 31.8 10 degree stem. Seems to be a move afoot to the 31.8 standard.clubhomeboy said:I have a Sette stem on one of my bikes. It's a 90mm, 10 degree rise and weighs 135g.
Similar to the difficulty finding a 10 degree stem. Does anyone know where I can find a lightweight (<150g) 100mm, 0 degree stem?
